effectiveness and adapt subsequent 

implementation actions and will also 

provide an opportunity for additional 

coordination with Oregon Department 

of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) prior to 

fuel break construction along lesstraveled roads. During the first phase, 

the BLM will focus on well-traveled 

routes in order to further enhance the 

knowledge base on successful treatment 

timing and techniques, ecological 

impacts of treatments, and adaptive 

management responses. Treatments and 

methods in Oregon will be the same as 

those identified and analyzed in the 

FEIS. Up to four new mineral material 

sites will be developed as the first phase 

of fuel break development is nearing 

completion. 

All practicable means to avoid or 

minimize environmental harm from the 

Project that were analyzed in the FEIS 

have been adopted in this decision and 

are included as appendices. Design 

features provide implementation timing 

restrictions and other protections to 

minimize impacts to wildlife. These 

features include buffers for sensitive 

plant occurrences from non-native 

seeded species, mechanical treatment 

avoidance buffers to protect riparian 

resources, and treatment buffers no 

more than 200 feet from either side of 

centerline along roads to conform to the 

2024 Southeastern Oregon Resource 

Management Plan Amendment, which 

established 250-foot setbacks for 

Wilderness Study Areas. 

The Project includes a robust 

monitoring and adaptive management 

plan to manage invasive annual species 

and noxious weeds within fuel breaks, 

collect ecological trend data to provide 

information on the ecological effects of 

vegetative treatments, and outline 

appropriate management responses. The 

Project also includes management 

direction and required design features 

from the 2015 Oregon Greater Sagegrouse Approved Resource Management 

Plan Amendment, as described in 

Appendix 3 to the ROD. A 

programmatic agreement (Appendix 4 to 

the ROD) describes how BLM will meet 

its responsibilities under Section 106 of 

the National Historic Preservation Act 

and avoid or minimize adverse impacts 

to cultural resources during Project 

implementation and maintenance. 

There have been no changes made to 

the selected alternative between the 

publication of the FEIS and the ROD. 

The Department of the Interior has 

approved the BLM’s decision. Approval 

of the Record of Decision therefore 

constitutes the final decision of the 

Department of the Interior and is not 

subject to appeal under Departmental 

regulations at 43 CFR part 4.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Purpose and Need 

The purpose of the EIS is to evaluate 

and respond to the Revised Mine and 

Reclamation Plan (RMRP) submitted for 

the recovery of phosphate ore contained 

within Federal phosphate leases IDI–02, 

IDI–014080, and IDI–013738, and to 

modify leases, in accordance with the 

Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as 

amended. 

The need for the Project is to develop 

the phosphate ore resource in 

accordance with established 

requirements (including, but not limited 

to, applicable Federal and State laws 

and regulations, lease terms, and land 

use plans) using an economically viable 

method, and to allow P4 the ability to 

exercise its right under the Mineral 

Leasing Act to develop the leases. 

Proposed Action 

P4’s application proposes mining of 

existing Federal phosphate leases IDI– 

02, IDI–014080, and IDI–013738, and 

State of Idaho Mineral Lease E07959, by 

constructing two open pits, partially 

backfilling the inactive Dry Valley Mine 

South Extension Panel D pit with initial 

overburden materials, constructing haul 

and access roads, installing various 

utility lines, and constructing water 

management features, monitoring wells, 

shop and office facilities, while 

implementing environmental protection 

measures and reclamation. 

Portions of the two open pits, the 

North and South Pits, would extend 

beyond the existing Federal and State 

lease boundaries. To accommodate 

those portions of the pits that extend 

outside the current Federal and State 

leases, P4 proposes expanding their 

leases in accordance with 43 CFR 

Subpart 3510. Operations would be 

conducted over an estimated 40-year 

period and would occur on public lands 

administered by the BLM, on National 

Forest System lands, on lands 

administered by the Idaho Department 

of Lands, and on private lands. 

Total disturbance for the Project 

would be approximately 1,832 acres, 

with approximately 418 acres of 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
104204 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 245 / Friday, December 20, 2024 / Notices 

disturbance having already occurred 

under previous approvals. The RMRP 

includes designs to reduce 

environmental impacts and to reclaim 

proposed disturbance. To ensure water 

quality requirements are met, 

reclamation includes a combination of 

earthen and synthetic reclamation cover 

systems. 

Additional Alternatives 

In addition to the Proposed Action, 

three action alternatives and the No 

Action Alternative are fully analyzed in 

the Draft EIS. Under Alternative 1, 

disturbance to public lands would be 

minimized by aligning the Dry Valley 

Area Haul Road/Access Road/Utility 

Corridor to avoid public lands and by 

not approving a Phosphate Use Permit 

associated with the Caldwell Canyon 

Service Road. Alternative 2 considers 

and analyzes impacts associated with 

not issuing the Federal lease 

modifications proposed by P4. 

Alternative 3 excludes any new 

disturbance and mining-related 

activities within designated Greater 

Sage-Grouse habitat to minimize 

impacts. The draft EIS identifies the 

Proposed Action as the Agency 

Preferred Alternative. 

Public Involvement Process 

The BLM will hold one virtual public 

meeting. The specific date of this 

meeting will be announced in advance 

through BLM’s National NEPA Register 

(ePlanning) website https://

eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/ 

project/2026858/510. Information on 

how to register for the online meeting 

will be posted on the above website. 

The BLM will continue to consult 

with Indian Tribal Nations on a 

government-to-government basis in 

accordance with Executive Order 13175 

and other policies. Agencies will give 

due consideration to Tribal concerns, 

including impacts on Indian Trust 

Assets and treaty rights, and potential 

impacts to cultural resources. 

The purpose of public review of the 

Draft EIS is to provide an opportunity 

for meaningful collaborative public 

engagement and for the public to 

provide substantive comments, such as 

identification of factual errors, data 

gaps, relevant methods, or scientific 

studies. The BLM will respond to 

substantive comments by making 

appropriate revisions to the EIS or 

explaining why a comment did not 

warrant a change. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so.

Commission has received a complaint 

and a submission pursuant to § 210.8(b) 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice 

and Procedure filed on behalf of Maxell, 

Ltd. on December 17, 2024. The 

complaint alleges violations of section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.

subject articles if they were to be 

excluded; 

(iv) indicate whether complainant, 

complainant’s licensees, and/or third 

party suppliers have the capacity to 

replace the volume of articles 

potentially subject to the requested 

exclusion order and/or a cease and 

desist order within a commercially 

reasonable time; and 

(v) explain how the requested 

remedial orders would impact United 

States consumers.
